BOLD & BEAUTIFUL — Cont’d from page 97
When it comes to the most up-to-the-minute features for bathrooms, local experts point to five major trends that are commanding attention in 2020:
DRAMATIC DETAILS Matte black finishes and accents remain popular picks to add a sense of drama to the bathroom. Black bathtubs, faucets, shower heads and even safety grab bars are having a moment. At the same time, Maryssa Zondag of Dynasty Bathrooms & Kitchen Centre has noticed an increase in orders and inquiries for brushed or polished gold finishes. Champagne bronze is gaining momentum as another trendy tone. “I personally renovated my bathroom with bold accent tiles in a herringbone pattern with matte black finishes,” she says. “I absolutely love my bathroom.”
ENDURING ELEGANCE Homeowners don’t want to invest in fussy, flash-in-the-pan fads that will look dated in a few years. Instead, they’re taking a long-term view, leaning towards bathrooms with clean, timeless and elegant designs that will remain in vogue for years to come. “Many customers are wanting something that will withstand the course of time,” Zondag says, “including bold, fun tiles, minimalistic vanities in shaker or slab-front styles, dark tiles or vinyl flooring, and lots of black or gold accents.”
